Not surprisingly, NGOs use aid workers regularly to publicize funding campaigns. Attractive young volunteers appear alongside aid recipients in television ads and newspaper articles. Not so deminers. Unlike other aid workers, the men and women who stride deliberately into fields each day because they have mines seldom bring news of the global landmine crisis to the public. Even the expatriate aid community dismisses them as ex-military thugs. A deminer from New Zealand described an International Red Cross party he was accidentally invited to in Angola. "After they found out I was a deminer," he said, "I was about as popular as a turd in a fishbowl."
